long journey home... cars broken..

[J03]

haha i thought about that but i didnt want to risk it as the peice of cloth will probably would of got sucked in... i have an flexible feed pipe under the bonnet so i kinda blocked the hole abit with outside of the pipe so no large bits couldve got in

 

[realnumber 1]

was thinkin the same thing should of at least put a rag over it to stop big bits of crap getting in

Lol, great idea:lolup:

i can see the for sale ad now, 'Never raced or Rallied'

seriously though mate, clean up all the throttle body etc and change the oil now, and possibly the plugs as its probably been running really rich.

 

[TaMrLb]

great stuff, i love a happy ending

 

[J03]

lol

^ yeah am going to clean the throttle body when i get chance and change the oil soon

btw me and my friend did it and hes a mechanic, he was saying if i took it to renault it woulda cost me around £800?!?! is that correct?? it sounds rediculous!!

 

[Dafthead]

Awesome stuff J03 haha

 

[J03]

lmao ha thanks

 

[AlexG]

wouldn't have been £800, more like £500 max if they cleaned it all up replaced the filter and the oil

 

[gtruk]

How is your friend a mechanic and didnt know how to find the throttle body? Or how to get the inlet plenum off? Slightly worrying! but glad its all sorted.

 

[Soneji]

^ that.
